ALTON ORGAN SOCIETY (Founded 1967) ♬♪𝄞The 2020/2021 Season of Organ Concerts started 13 October when David Hill gave a most proficient and delightfully popular organ concert at St Lawrence Church Alton. Despite the restrictions of Covid-19, with the help and cooperation of members of the audience, we were able to start the Season of organ concerts safely observing strictly social distancing. We now look forward to Tuesday 3 November when we welcome back Jane Watts. However, to attend future concerts you must book ahead - see the following.
It is necessary to book a seat before each organ concert so that we can plan seating, observe social distancing and keep a record of who attends. To book, send us a message via the contact page or directly to this email address - familyhowe@talktalk.net - and we will reserve you a seat. Those who have paid for season membership will automatically have their seats reserved.
Sadly, as long as the pandemic persists, we will be unable to serve refreshments.
In order to prevent mingling, people attending concerts will be checked against the list of bookings and then escorted to their respective places. Similarly, at the end of concert, attendees will be escorted out of the church, again to avoid mingling
Family members may sit together up to a maximum of 6.
Admission is £10 at the door which includes a copy of the programme.
We also encourage applicants for Season Membership which costs £60 - equivalent to £7.50 per concert. The application form can be downloaded here.
The 2020/2021 Season of Organ Concerts can be viewed here. All concerts start at 8.00 pm ending about 9.15 pm.
